Rev. Rodney Kerr, LPC

Rev. Rodney Kerr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 33 years of counseling experience in South Carolina. He combines counseling and coaching approaches to help people facing relationship and life challenges. His work focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more grounded and connected.

He helps individuals and couples set clear goals and work toward them. Sessions look at strengths and areas for growth. He draws on emotional and relational methods and cognitive tools to address issues like communication, commitment, and intimacy concerns.

His background includes pastoral counseling and seminary training with a Master of Divinity. He has also done postgraduate work related to marriage and family matters and holds several relationship-related certifications and coaching credentials. Those experiences shape a values-aware approach to difficult topics such as grief, addiction, and end-of-life concerns.

Assessment tools are part of the work when useful. He may use instruments such as PREPARE/ENRICH, SYMBIS, StrengthsFinder, MBTI, Strong Interest, and Enneagram coaching tools to clarify patterns and guide change. These tools are used alongside conversation and goal-setting.

Sessions focus on what people want to change and how to get there. The therapist emphasizes practical steps, clearer communication, and rebuilding connection. People looking for help with parenting strain, career transitions, or managing anger and anxiety will find a straightforward, goal-oriented style.

How these approaches work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take action toward them. It often uses short exercises to notice thoughts and commit to small steps, which can fit well into remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT sessions commonly include practical homework and skill practice that translate easily to an online setting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving emotional connection and communication, which can be explored through focused conversation and in-session exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before choosing methods. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which approaches and tools to use as the process unfolds.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since available formats are not specified in this biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between in-person appointments when appropriate. It also supports shorter check-ins, working around work schedules, and using screen-based assessments or worksheets during the session. Ask about current session options when you schedule to match the format to your needs.
